Interfacing existing C++ code with flex

I have existing video streaming application which is based client server technlogy. Existing system is as follows There is data center, client application and gateway. camera is connected with gateway and gateway is connected with data center.client request video to data center and datacenter get it from gateway.

Now we want to use p2p technology here and want to have direct communication between gateway and client.we want to use RTMFP .for client we can use flex, but the existing gtateway code and business logic is written on c++.

Is there any way around to call c++ code from flex.

Thanks

Hey, Yes this is pretty much possible with flex 4,(ie. only if you are using a desktop application).From a web based swf, running in a browser you cannot start running a C++ code.

I am assuming that you are developing a desktop app.To call a c++ code , you would need to do the things mentioned in the following example link.It is pretty straightforward.

Or, incase you have access to the C++ code, then you can use a few already built classes which allow C++/Flex interaction. http://anirudhs.chaosnet.org/blog/2008.03.13.html
